My views are changing completely after reading and researching. I believed myself to be an addict just because I took a drug that helped my symptoms but "everyone else" said was illegal and "not right". I went for treatment because of all the trouble my self medicating was causing, and I now believe that I am not an addict, because I never "abused" any medication, but am only physically dependent which is something all people on certain meds have to deal with. Either be dependent or be depressed. If i have to choose I would choose dependent. I appreciate and agree with your statement of not caring what others think and only of your own well being. At this point I am ok with my depression and my "treatment for addiction" because I now know they are one in the same, but eventually I will have to deal with "what others think" when the doctors feel it is time for me to come off the suboxone. I only hope my own doctor or one I can locate will work with me and help me as much as possible. I don't ever want to be back in my "depressed" state again. It was not a pretty picture and cause my family a great deal of pain for a long time.
